The trend of the current "Kandi Girl" style of artwork started with the release of Nu Cool 3 in 1999 (the first two volumes of Nu Cool were re-released with new artwork) with designs by British illustrator Jason brooks.
New York design company Vault49 took over the task of creating cover artwork whilst maintaining the trend and format set originally by Brooks. The cover artwork usually relates to the genre of the album released, for example Back To Love features music from late 80s/early 90s therefore the artwork will normally depict a female dressed in club attire from those times, sometimes on roller-skates or on chopper bicycles, Beach House releases usually feature females listening to music on portable audio devices on a beach backdrop, Disco Heaven releases always feature winged females on a disco-styled backdrop, etc. From September 2006 onwards the album artwork has yet again been redesigned with the release of Back To Love 07.06 along with a new style format for future Hed Kandi releases.
Hi dear all!
I’m a big fan of Hed Кandi’s music compilations! And that’s not all!
I look every time forward to see and enjoy the new style of “The Kandy Girl”
Namely these artworks make the Product “Hed Kandi” so special.
First you see the cover artwork and then your mind starts imagining –What could it be in there!
But you are 100% sure that it will be out of your mind, because The Hed Kandy style is full of surprises and it’s unique!
I‘d rather say that I admire this marketing strategy with the cover design!
Go Kandy Girl, GO!
Hey thats good to know thankx!
